Ground work and horsemanship
My groundwork and horsemanship draws two primary influences: Linda Tellington Jones and Clinton Anderson, augmented by traditional dressage type groundwork such as long lining, lunging and in-hand work. My unique system solves problems such as: spookiness, head-shyness, stiffness, nervousness, difficulty bridling, saddling, tying, and trailering issues. It improves horses’ body awareness, overall confidence and ability to think through problems. This program is great for clients who want to improve their effectiveness, subtlety and skill on the ground, or learn something new to do with their horses.
